Teen Substance Recovery: A Guide to Family Support

Dr. Howell sits down with Dionne Bowens, Probate Juvenile Court Administrator, alongside juvenile probation officers Kirstin Sarabia and Donovan McCary from Lenawee County. Together, they explore the transformative shift in juvenile justice, focusing on restorative practices, education, and a wide range of resources available rather than punishment and incarceration. The Teen Substance Recovery program is referred to in the video. The Guide to Family Support workbook can be found here.

Child Alienation: Reconnecting with Lost Wings

I recently had the opportunity to co-write a book that is very personal to me with Tranquil Parenting Publishing. From the start, I felt incredibly comfortable and confident in the process. Having seen many books published by Tranquil Parenting, I knew I was in good hands.

The guidance I received at each step ensured my messages and story were accurately conveyed. The feeling of accomplishment when I finally held my published book in my hands was indescribable!

I am already planning to use their services again in the future and highly recommend Tranquil Parenting Publishing to everyone looking to share their lessons, stories, or messages through a published book. You may find the workbook here.

From the start, it was clear Dr. Howell was committed to our domestic violence recovery projects and its impact. She carefully considered the perspectives of both survivors and others affected by abuse, treating everyone with respect. Throughout the development and publication of our workbook, Dr. Howell was insightful, responsive, and always willing to research answers when needed. The entire process was smooth, and I felt supported and encouraged. I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with Dr. Howell and highly recommend Tranquil Studio. ~ Grace Lambert

On Air with JTV

This work extends into real environments where ideas are developed, organized, and carried through to completion. Experiences like TEDx reflect how structure, coordination, and design come together in ways that support both the people involved and the outcomes being created. This event was hosted by Jackson College and is shared here as an example of my work within that setting, including planning, coordination, and experience design.

On Set with WLEN

In this interview, Dr. Sonja L. Howell shares the thinking behind Feel It: Wake Up From the Lull, describing how the work developed through lived experience and reflection. She discusses the concept of the lull and how emotional numbness can take shape, offering insight into how that experience is understood and worked through.

Where It Began

This moment reflects the early work that set everything in motion. The focus began with the Tranquil Parenting instruction program in 2016, a wonderful ribbon cutting ceremony in 2017, the evolution of TMID in 2022, and continued to grow into broader support for others. Over time, that work expanded in direction and reach, shaping the foundation for what is now shared across different projects and formats.
